9 I wrote something to the 1church; but 2Diotrephes, who loves 3to be afirst among them, does not 4receive us.

10 For this reason, if I come, I will bring to remembrance his works which he does, 1babbling against us with 2evil words; and not being satisfied with these, neither does he himself receive the brothers, and those intending to doso he forbids and acasts out of the church.

11 Beloved, do not aimitate the 1bevil, but the good. He who 2does cgood is 3of God; he who 4does evil has 5dnot seen God.

14 But I 1ahope to see you shortly, and we will speak 2face to face. Peace to you. The bfriends greet you. Greet the friends by cname.
